- Track gaming live-streams, content creators, and influencers relevant to the company's target audience
- Conduct outreach (via social media, email, or other channels) to initiate conversations with potential leads/partners
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of leads and outreach activity in the CRM or tracking system
- Collaborate with the Business Development team to refine lead qualification criteria and outreach strategy
- Prepare periodic summaries/reports on lead generation activity and gaming industry trends
- Participate in regular mentorship/check-in sessions to build skills in outreach, negotiation, and partnership evaluation over the course of the apprenticeship

Nice to Have
- Personal experience streaming, creating gaming content, or being active in gaming communities (Discord, Twitch, etc.)
- Previous internship or project experience in sales, marketing, or business development
- Basic understanding of partnership/business development processes
